Frequently asked questions

Fitting & installation

Will it fit my ceiling light?

Yes. Each shade arrives ready to hang, with its own cord, E27 lampholder and ceiling fitting, so it doesn’t depend on the fitting you have now. 

Prefer to keep your current setup? You can also fit the shade on its own onto the pendant you already have.

Are your lampshades easy to install?

Yes. Fitting the shade onto your existing pendant takes just a couple of minutes, with no electrician needed. 

Do I need an adaptor or any extra parts?

No. Each shade comes with its own cord, lampholder and ceiling fitting. If you’d like to fit the shade onto your existing pendant instead, email us a photo of your light fitting and we’ll confirm whether anything extra is needed.

Is a bulb included?

Bulbs aren’t included. All our shades take a standard E27 screw bulb. We recommend a warm white LED bulb: it gives a soft, golden glow and stays cool, which is better for natural materials.

Can I get a longer cord, or use my own?

Yes to both. The cord length is listed on each product page, and longer cords are available on request: just email us before ordering. 

You can also skip the cord supplied and fit the shade onto the cord already hanging from your ceiling.

Can I use your lampshades outdoors?

Our lampshades are designed for indoor use. Under a covered porch or veranda, the shade can be used with a light fitting rated for outdoor use, kept well away from rain and damp. We don’t recommend leaving them exposed to the weather.

Our products

Which size should I choose?

Each product page shows the diameter and height of every size, along with a size guide.

As a rough guide: around 30 to 40cm suits hallways and smaller rooms, 40 to 50cm most bedrooms and living rooms, and 60cm or more large or open-plan spaces. 

Over a table or kitchen island, choose a shade around half to two thirds of its width.

Not sure? Send us your room measurements and we’ll help you choose.

What are your lampshades made of?

Our lampshades are made from carefully selected natural materials: wicker, rattan, bamboo, wood and straw, each chosen for its texture and character. 

Materials may vary depending on the collection, and full details are listed on each product page.

Will my lampshade look like the photos?

Your shade will have the same design, shape and size as shown. As it’s made from natural materials, no two pieces are quite identical: the tone and texture can vary slightly, which is part of what makes each one unique. 

Would you like a closer look before ordering? Email us and we’ll happily send you more photos. And if it isn’t right for your home, you can return it within 14 days.

What does it look like when the light is on?

The light filters through the natural material, casting a warm glow and soft patterns across your walls and ceiling. More open designs create more pattern, while denser ones give a softer, more diffused light. A warm white bulb gives the cosiest result.

How do I care for my lampshade?

A gentle dust with a soft brush or dry cloth keeps it looking its best. Keep it away from damp areas such as bathrooms, as moisture can damage natural materials.

Where are your products made?

Our lampshades are sourced from carefully selected supplier partners, with countries of origin that may vary depending on the collection.

Each collection is chosen for its design, finish and ability to bring warmth and character to everyday homes.
